Upgrade Your Crawlspace for Better Home Performance
Crawlspace encapsulation involves sealing and insulating the space beneath a building to prevent moisture intrusion, improve air quality, and enhance energy efficiency. Proper encapsulation can significantly reduce indoor humidity levels, which helps prevent mold growth, wood rot, and pest infestations. Without adequate encapsulation, moisture can accumulate, leading to structural damage and health issues for occupants.
Encapsulation minimizes moisture infiltration, reducing the risk of mold and mildew that can compromise indoor air quality.
Sealing the crawlspace helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures, lowering energy costs and improving comfort.
By preventing moisture damage, encapsulation extends the lifespan of the building's foundation and framing.
